#sydney We headed to the city today and met up with the beautiful @chame and her little one for Colour Maze part of the @sydneyfestival.
Kids will love walking into the colourful world that is the Colour Maze. Created by artists Amigo & Amigo, the space inspires children to get hands-on with visual art and journey through the “Tongpop” aesthetic of Sydney Festival Visual Artist in Residence Telly Tuita.
The space consists of 10 rooms with knitted bouncy balls, knitted bucket and normal swings, areas to relax, netted areas to bounce, walk and climb through kids and a building area and more!
It was a warm day for us but the kids still enjoyed being in the different spaces for a couple of hours. There are fans however it does get warm on 30c days like today. There is an area with breeze to relax at before/after your session and complementary water available. Colour Maze is recommended for kids 2 to 12 years old. Adults cannot sit on the swings which looked pretty cool. Miss and her brother loved them!
Colour Maze is on until 25th January at Pier 2/3, 15 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. Tickets for one person is $22.50 or $15pp with groups of 4. Kids 12 months and under are free. 7 relaxed performances are available. #hosted #invited #sydneyfestival #colourmaze #amigo&amigo

Amigo & Amigo
Step inside a kaleidoscopic wonderland of colours and creativity. Colour Maze is an imaginative play experience that inspires children to get hands-on with visual art and journey through the “Tongpop” aesthetic of Sydney Festival Visual Artist in Residence Telly Tuita.
Kids will wind their way through ten rooms – with building blocks, swings and knitted playgrounds, and channel their inner artist with hands-on craft and sticker activities featuring Tongan motifs.
Colour Maze is brought to life by public art experts Amigo & Amigo, who have pioneered a new era of joyful installations at Sydney Festival, Vivid Sydney, Illuminate Adelaide, Canada’s Lights On Stratford and in Hong Kong. The studio has teamed up with Tuita, a visual artist and former art educator. Tuita’s vivid Tongpop practice explores his Polynesian diasporic experience through a blaze of colours, nostalgic pop-culture references and memories of his homeland Tonga.
A creative art adventure awaits this summer.
